Hi

This morning, I am getting the same error. Like you. I want to display a .pdf that is located outside my domain. My main motivation is I want to display the latest version as maintained by the other party.

I guess the risk we don’t have any control of the content or virus status. So is the best advice to always host any pdf content we want to display in the viewer?

PDFJs doesn’t support other domains out of the box for security reasons.
